Delete Firefox Addon from addons.mozilla.org
Hello.
I want to delete one of my addons on the addons.mozilla.org page, but can't find a way to delete it and can't find any information about it.
The reason behind is, that it is outdated and does simply not work anymore. The addon was about translating a page of my university to English. The page does not exist as it was back when I developed the addon, and they added an English translation.
Little help would be great.

I understand. Do you not have the info to go edit your page ?
Ahhh, My problem was, that the new(?) website does not have any button "edit" on the addon-pages. When I however chose the "classical desktop website" on the bottom of the page, then there I have a button for editing and subsequently in the menues one for deleting the addon.
Thanks. If this is deliberate, it should be documented.

Hi there. Is it that it no longer works, or it is not compatible with Quantum?
If it is just not compatible, edit the page to reflect this.
Add-on questions should be posted in the add-ons forum; https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons
Note: I still use pre Quantum add-ons on my v54, and they still work with no problem.
Ups sorry. To be honest, didn't find the interface of much help here, but okay (to find the correct section for this question).
The addons-page says it is not supported by Quantum, but that is of no interest here. It is not useful whatsoever anymore, as the pages, which it worked on, are completely different and don't need a firefox addon anymore to have an English translation. Even updating the addon would not be of any use, as the function it serves is obsolete.
I understand. Do you not have the info to go edit your page ?
You can find the install location of a specific extension in the extensions.json file in the profile folder. You can open the extensions.json file in a Firefox tab to use the builtin JSON viewer.
The descriptor field should list the install location of the extension.

Hi, again you will have to bring that up with : https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons as Support has no control over the add-ons ot their pages.
Glad you found the button to delete your page.

That was very good work. Well done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.
